Band : U2
Song: Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed by: Jeff Martin
Haven't seen a good (any?) tabs on this song yet, so I'll give it a go. Here is my interpretation...
Opening:
Listen to the song for timing on each of these chords.
0:06

|-0-0-0-0-0-2----|

|-3----------3----3-3-3----------3-------3---3-------------------------|
Verse 1 (second part)
Listen close, Edge or a 2nd guitar is playing variations of this riff behind the G and C chords.
Pick up the rythym of the open G and C chords from the song...
1:08

Pre-Chorus
Use open Chords
D////C////D////C
Chorus:
Guitar 2:
G/////D/////C...
Edge sound like he's playing:
****(the Zero = the 10th fret)*****
1:44

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
Verse 2 = second part of verse 1 (above)
Chorus 2 = same G-A-D for Guitar 1
Edge:
**** 0=10th fret, 2=12th fret, 3=13th fret, 5=15th fret (better tab spacing I guess)****
It's all happening on the 7th and 12th frets...
2:49

Finish the bridge with this, watch the volume, this part starts faint and picks up as
chorus comes back in...
3:47ish
|-10-|
|-8--|
|-7--|
|-7--|

Back to chorus riffs... etc
That's about it. All the parts are here! Seems pretty close. Other tabs seem to have
the chord correct.
Enjoy
